This volume contains the collected poetry of Mustafa Sami Arpaeminizade. The work begins with na't and kasideler, followed by a nazire on a poem by Ruhi (f 6v); münacat (ff 9v-10r); a bahariye in praise of Sultan Ahmet III (f 10r); a temmuziye (f 15v); a terciibent (f 18v); kasideler, some of which are in praise of Şehit Ali Paşa and Mehmet Paşa, and some mesneviler. The remaining sections are chronograms (ff 61v-77v) ending with a terciibent; gazeller (ff 79-108v); murabbaat (ff 108v-109v); elğaz (ff109v-110r); rubaiyat and kıt'alar (ff 110r-111r); and ebyat (ff 111r-112r). The text contains two unvans and folios 1 and 2 are decorated with a floral design. There is no colophon to confirm the note on f 1r that the manuscript was copied by İsmail Bosnevi, but there are two dates - 1198 AH (1783-84 CE) (in a seal) and 1199 AH (1784-85 CE).
